From GA Carry
Under the law, a Georgia Weapons License holder may carry a weapon or long gun openly or concealed in any location that is not off limits. However, should you choose to openly carry a handgun, please be aware of the image you present to the public while doing so. They vote.
“...please be aware of the image you present to the public while doing so.”
Image presented is an important distinction. The image I saw of the NBP near the polling site was Men in some sort of uniform. It wasn’t a picture of a 5 guys heading out to a duck blind. It looked like a foreign military to me.
In the 80’s I lived in Flowery Branch Ga. I worked for a machine tool distributor, and sometimes worked late into the night in Atlanta. My boss said I should get a concealed carry permit. Back then it was 15 dollars, a visit to a magistrate to get your thumbprint and trigger finger print on the form in front of a witness and 3 days while the sheriff checked your background. A week later the card arrived via mail. That’s how it should work.
